Application filed august at, 1W1.

T 0 all whom it my concern Be it known that T, doHN KLnIN, a citizen ofthe United States, resident of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and Stateof Uhio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Parlor FloorLELIDPS, of which the following is a specification, the principle of theinventlon being herein explained and the best mode in which T havecontemplated applying that principle, so as to distinguish it from otherinventions.

This invention relates to parlor floor lamps and has for its object, toprovide a pedestal lamp with a floor light enclosed in the base of thepedestal in addition to usual lamps carried at the top of the pedestal,the door light together with the colored translucent panels of the base,producing an attractive ornamental ed'ect and also providing a dimlighting effect, pleasing and restful to the eye when the main lamp isturned old, lighting the room just sufilciently to enable persons tomove about the room without danger of stumbling over furniture so thatthey can see to turn on the main pedestal lamp when desired, making itunnecessary to use the wall switch on entering the room.

The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detailcertain means embodying my invention, the disclosed means, however,constituting but one of the various mechanical forms in which theprinciple of the invention may be employed.

in said annexed drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the pedestal door lamp,

Figure 2 is a sectional plan viewof the base vlooking down from the lineillill of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a'sectional view talren on line ill-Till of Figure 2 lookingin the direction indicated by the arrows,

Figure 4: is a plan view of the bottom of the pedestal base.

Figure 5 is a side elevation of the pedestal base.

Figured is a wiring diagram of the lamp circuits.

Referring to the annexed drawings, the lamp pedestal comprises a hollowbox lihe base 1, having colored glass panels Q and 3 hli in the sidewalls thereof and colored glass panels a and 5 in the top thereof. Thehollow base 1- is supported upon legs 6 and carries centrally of its topa vertical stand d. ll 1?.

aid 7. Upon the top of the standard 7 is mounted the usual lamp fixture,comprising the shade 8 and lamp sockets 9 for the incandescent bulbs 10.Associated with the sockets ,9 are the usual chain switch members 11.

The bottom 12 of the box base 1 has mounted therein, the lamp socket 13adapted to receive the small candle power bulb 14 within the box andhaving a button switch 15 below the bottom 12.

Current is supplied to the pedestal lamps by means of Wires 16 leadingfrom the wall plug 17, to the base socket 13 and branch wires 18 leadingfrom the wires 16 through the axial passage 19 in the standard 7 to themain lamp sockets 9 at the-top of the standard.

Tn order to provide convenient access to the interior of the base 1 forinsertion or removal of the base bulb, the bottom 12 is provided with ahand opening 20 closed by the removable cover 21.

in the normal use of the parlor lamp herein disclosed, the main lamps'10 as well as the base lamp ll will be lighted. When the main lamps 10are lighted, the base lamp I 141: is useful merely" for ornamentaleflect.

it, however, it is desired to leave the room temporarily, the main lamps10 can be turned off leaving the base light 1t on. The base light 14will then provide suficient light to enable one to return directly tothe pedestal instead of leaving the room in total darkness, making itconvenient to use the pedestal lamp to the exclusion of otherilluminating means, thus economizing in the use of current. The baselamp 14: when used alone provides a pleasing and restful lightingefifect, somewhat similar to a fireplace, The base lamp 141: alsoprovides an economical means of lighting rooms not occupied, but
